Topic 1. The Visible World and the Invisible World
The first lesson is devoted to the first topic of philosophy - "what is it to be"/"how can one be" and what paradigms are possible in principle when answering this seemingly simple question. Where does the Name come from, what does it mean to "grow into a name" and why is this a challenge not only for a person but also for any phenomenon.
Topic 2. History and Eternity (in 2 lessons)
Everything you need to understand about time and politics (from the Old Testament to St. Augustine and Dostoevsky). Why the answer to the question "when" includes answers to almost all remaining political questions.
Topic 3. Church and People
We will understand the relationship between the political and religious principles in the "symphonic personality", what is the duty and cross of these principles.
Topic 4. Unity and the Plurality
The lesson is devoted to the central question of political philosophy - "how is it possible to include the particular in the general?". You will also understand how political positions on this issue in the Avramic cultures are reflections of theological disputes about the Trinity.
Topic 5. Right, Left, Logos - the fractal structure of identity
In this lesson we will look "inside" identity - we will see how, in principle, from a functional point of view, everything is arranged, starting from a person and ending with a family, a company, a state, the world.
Topic 6. The Mystery of Power
Based on the Old Testament and the lectures taken so far, this lesson reveals the nature of the phenomenon of power. What is within its scope of possibilities, what is inaccessible to it, and what is its price for a person and a nation.
Topic 7. Five Laws of Power
The title is self-evident. A kind of "220 volt" sign on a transformer booth for those participants who want to look "behind the curtain" of power games.
Topic 8. Five more laws of power
Continuation of the previous lesson.
Topic 9. The Tetramorph Symbol and its Meaning
In this lesson, the author offers you his own experience of working with symbolic space at the applied level. How the symbolism of the 4 faces of the angel from the Prophet Ezekiel reflects the fundamental properties of human and social self-organization. What does it mean "to be a Taurus, an Angel, an Eagle or a Lion".
Topic 10. Practical Seminar
In this seminar, participants will demonstrate a symbol whose meaning has truly revealed itself to them during the lessons.
